Applications
High Pressure Air Driven Liquid Pumps
Air Driven Liquid Pump applications:
First and foremost, it's paramount to consider the inherent advantages of Protech air driven liquid pumps. These are:
- No requirement for electricity and can be driven by any inert gas.
- Can be stalled and started on full load indefinitely without heat build-up or power usage.
- Stay cool when working hard due to drive air expansion at the exhaust.
- These advantages make Protech air driven liquid pumps excellent Pressure Test Pumps in that they can sustain high pressures indefinitely.
These advantages make Protech air driven liquid pumps excellent Pressure Test Pumps in that they can sustain high pressures indefinitely.
Models fitted with liquid end pistons, rather than plungers, can efficiently pump gaseous liquids (Giquids) such as refrigerant and fire-fighting media and can achieve a high level of vacuum (negative) pressure.
Plunger models can achieve and hold very high liquid (hydraulic) pressures.
